Many thanks to Colleen for this tutorial đđ
Trying new things can be fun. Iâve written these instructions to help my fellow bloggers with instructions on how to use the blog post feature in Microsoft Word and how to use the new WordPress Editor. â¤
First, Here are my instructions for using the blog post template in Microsoft Word and importing into WordPress:
I use Microsoft Office 2016. Within the program, there is a blog post option. Itâs not hard to set up.
On the menu bar, go to the manage accounts tab. Click on new. Then a menu comes up saying new blog account.
Click on the menu and choose your blog provider. Another menu will come up after that asking for your blog address. It shows an HTTP address which you will need to change to the HTTPS (add the s or it wonât work) address of your blog. Enter your WordPress account login nameâŚ

This is great, but IâÂÂve been trying to set this up for a while now and every time I do it gives me a message saying this feature is broken and currently not working. I too am using Microsoft 2016.
What could be wrong?
If I could get this to work it would make my world ten thousand percent easier.

I’m sorry, my WIFI was down for most of the morning. It’s been raining here in Colorado and I wonder if that affects it. I’ll try and help Patty, now. Thanks for letting me know, Chris. â¤

Patty, the one thing that was really important was to add the S in the HTTPS: address. Here is the link from Microsoft: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Help-with-blogging-in-Word-3ad4ad8d-06a3-441d-99cd-c65e13a3433d. Also, I use the Office 265 edition. I have no idea if other editions are different. I would reinstall my software or contact Microsoft with the issue. Here is a YouTube Video that might help you also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr7_DonXRms. Let me know if that works for you. â¤
